RE: Power Supply Cord & Plug for Saudi Arabia
Hi Folks Bear in mind that there are some import and certification formalities to be observed.

I know that British fused plugs are used there (for 220V/60Hz), but I want to know if this is a regulatory requirement. BTW, class OI or class II appliances are acceptable for selling there?

They have a form, much like a DofC and a process to follow. My most recent work was 1995 so this may be outdated by now. The process went something like this. Contact the the Saudi Embassy or the US-ARAB Chamber of Commerce in Washington, DC. They will send you some information. Fill out their format declaration and forward it with two checks to a certain person there. Ask that person to process it and then courier it to the Saudi Embassy. The first check ($21.00) covers legal and courier fees. The second check ($8.50) was for the Saudi Embassy to cover their costs. In the end, after a week or two, you will get back your original declaration with a large, and I mean large, rubber stamp on the back of it. It was all red and in Arabic. This is then copied and sent along with the customs papers for the product to Saudi Arabia. We never had any problems when following this process. I have some old files done in Quark Express that reminded me how to do this, includes addresses, etc. Remember they are 4 or more years old now. I no longer have QE so would have to get someone here to translate
